Katelyn Servedio Photography

Hello! I'm Katelyn. I'm an LGBTQ+ luxury wedding and elopement photographer, educator, community builder, and advocate based in Portland, Oregon. As a queer person myself, my work is rooted in the belief that LGBTQ+ people deserve more than tolerance. We deserve to be fully celebrated, protected, and represented.

Over the years, I've poured myself into teaching photographers and vendors inclusivity within the wedding industry. The majority of my clientele is LGBTQ+, giving me extensive firsthand experience serving queer couples and navigating the unique challenges they often face while planning weddings. My work has been featured internationally and published in publications including Dancing With Her, Rock n Roll Bride, Oregon Wedding Day, and Washington Wedding Day.

Beyond photography, I'm deeply committed to creating tangible change within the industry. I'm the founder of a 10,000-member LGBTQ+ wedding community that connects queer couples with affirming vendors, the creator of a queer-focused wedding magazine, and the host of Love Loud, an inclusivity-focused retreat dedicated to helping wedding photographers build safer and more welcoming businesses.

Through these things, I've been able to help hundreds of wedding vendors move beyond performative allyship and create experiences where LGBTQ+ couples feel genuinely seen, respected, and celebrated. My teaching combines lived experience, industry expertise, and actionable strategies that professionals can immediately implement within their own businesses.

My goal through everything I do is to help create a wedding industry where every person can walk into a space and know they belong.
